Some of you may remember me asking if anyone here has gotten a Shaper
Origin yet. I got mine about 10 days ago and have not had tome to test it out much other than the samples in the below links. The tool comes with a map of the United States to practice with. I actually went over this same map with two different bits and multiple times with each. The registration for restarting a project is spot on. Basically if a piece needs to be modified it is a no brainer to set it back up and make a modification, this is assuming that you need to remove more material rather than replace material. :~) Anyway this link takes you to my very first ever attempt at using a CNC. Obviously I should have used a larger piece of wood so that I could have scaled the map larger. Unfortunately some of the NE states got wiped off the map. ;~) The blank was 12" x 7" Also each state was individual, none shared the neighbor states geometry and this resulted in a wider division between the states. And FWIW this tool has scalable on-board lettering, hence the TEXAS. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...n/photostream/ July 5 I decided to see if I could duplicate the logo on my business card less the phone number and specialties. I would like to add this engraving to each of my pieces from this point on, or if a customer wants to bring me a door or drawer to add this to. It is approximately 2.5" x 1.5" This was done all with a v-groove bit and I am pleased with a first time attempt of converting a drawing of a bridge and importing lettering with a different font. Maybe a 1/16" straight cut bit will yield a simpler appearance. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...n/photostream/ |

I think doing box joints and DT joints should be significantly easier not using a jig to guide the router. Seems like overkill. Why doesn't a DT jig work? I don't see that it'll solve the real problems (getting the depth right). Also, mortise and tennon joints should be much easier. Of course not as easy as with the Domino but much easier than other methods. I was going to say... What happened to your Domino? ;-) WHy use something that's harder? Signs. A lot of my jobs involve long arcs. I normally print these out on several sheets of paper, tape them together, and glue to the board. Then bandsaw cut and sand. Now I can just CNC the shape directly on the board. AND drill any size hole exactly the size I need. Ellipse router jig? |

Of course not as easy as with the Domino but much easier than other methods. I was going to say... What happened to your Domino? ;-) WHy use something that's harder? The Domino cannot do everything accurately, especially in the face of sheet good. And with sheet good in mind, the Shaper Origin can do dado's, grooves, and rabbets. Signs.

Now I can just CNC the shape directly on the board. AND drill any size hole exactly the size I need. Ellipse router jig? Have you seen one that will do an 8 foot long arc with a radius of 30 feet? I have 3 pieces of furniture in my home that have these sized arcs. |

You'll get very used to "zeroing" the tool bit height if it does so. It's just one of those CNC things. It does a Z calibration at the surface. From there you set the depth settings. It does not automatically adjust height while cutting. Height is preset and changed by you when necessary. My Initial problem was that, when using the engraving setting, it suggested .005" deep. I thought double that, .1. Obviously I thought the suggested setting was .05. ..01 worked well, and then I went back over that with a 1/8 straight cut bit at about the same depth. If you zoom in you can see the tale tell signs of the v grove bit in the center of all the gaps between the states. |
